Nothing ( almost nothing ) makes you feel better than a new pair of shoes. I absolutely believe in high quality shoes made from sustainable or otherwise eco-friendly materials and I know that the methods used to manufacture those products can be costly. The good news is that many large retailers are starting to carry eco friendly shoe lines that are affordable.
Payless Shoes has recently launched Zoe & Zac, a line of organic cotton and recycled rubber shoes, both for kids and adults. These adorable Snapdragon Ballet flats for girls are $19.99.
Spring is here and rain coats and rain boots are starting to appear. When shopping for them, make sure to find products made without PVC ( the “poison plastic” ). Opt instead for rubber boots – Target carries a cute pair of Uda Frog Rainboots for $16.99. Western Chief has a lot of fun prints ( on the right: Pretty Pony Rain Boot ), many of which are currently on sale on Amazon for $18.50.
Simple Kid’s shoes are made with sustainably grown products. This pair of Mary Jane’s has hemp uppers with bamboo fabric lining; coconut buttons; organic canvas footbed lining; and a recycled car tire outsole. Not only are they CUTE but they are also affordable as Amazon is currently selling them for $26.97. Simple also has a very stylish pair for boys for even less. The Loaf Slip-On is $15.88.
